GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Runners at the Fifth Third River Bank Run 25K make up the country's largest race of that distance and Grand Rapids Press photojournalist Chris Clark captured the starting line in a time-lapse video and a gallery with 117 images.

Elite athletes and first-time participants are all the same in the eyes of the camera, and all were ready to go at the onset of the race. The finish line pictures may not treat you as kindly.

Take a look through the video and the images, spot yourself and then brag about your performance.
